This miniature painting by the Limbourg brothers depicts the biblical scene of Christ in Gethsemane. It portrays the moment Jesus, illuminated by a golden halo, prays in the Garden of Gethsemane as his disciples sleep nearby. The scene is set at night, with a starry sky and a dark, shadowy landscape, and features a group of soldiers approaching in the distance. This miniature is a prime example of the detailed and realistic style characteristic of the Limbourg brothers' art. The miniature, likely from the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail, evident in the depiction of the landscape, the figures, and the nighttime setting. This artwork is a powerful reminder of the sacrifice of Christ.
